Wilco 737 Pilot in Command Black Gauges & other problems.

[Shahzeb Bhutto 1105237]

Hello there simmers,

I recently bought this beautiful 737 for FSX by Wilco. It installed very perfectly but when I load this aircraft at any airport, the engines run but the the CRTs and black and gauges are not working. Also, I cannot use any of the switch in the plane. I tried my best by searching around the internet but no good. Therefore, I need your help to fix this problem.

 

NOTE: This is a legit and fully updated copy. I did all of the updates. Also, I have Wilco Airbus Series planes for FSX and they totally work fine.

 

Specs:

Windows 7 64-bit

Intel Pentium D 3.2GHz

2.5GB RAM

nVidia GeForce 8600GT

 

Thank You

I just bought the Vista update and tell you what? It still DOESN'T work I think I just wasted my money. There should be a solution for this problem.

 

Thanks

have you tried the install on vista32 bit instead of Win764?

From what I know, I was able to use it in Windows XP. Then I decided to switch to Windows 7 64. I don't know about vista. People say it works really well on Vista.

from looking at their site they don't support vista64 altho people have gotten it to work very well. Win7 is another beast completely and is my guess as to the cause of the issue.

Hi there, I run FSX,Windows 7 X64 and Wilco 737+Vista update. I installed FSINN yesterday as I was having framerate issues with SB4. I fired up the 737 and I to had black gauges etc. I have since uninstalled FSINN and the 737 works perfectly again. There seems to be some issues with the combination of software. I would try to uninstall FSinn and see what happens to your 737 then report back here.

Move your mouse over the PFD, left click and use the scroll wheel to adjust the intensity of the display. Dunno why Wilco does this.. maybe it's to get you to read the manual

[Ralph Caridad 814119]

Have there been any developments in getting the gauges to function in Windows 7 with the PIC and FSInn?

I really can't stand SB. If I see another [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ertion error ...

Hmm Interesting, I am having the same problem as the OP, hadn'tthough about FSinn being the problem. Why would it disable switches?

 

The notion of turning up the brightness will not make the switches work. The support forum is quite useless and they have j written back to me saying that they dont support 64 bit Os's.

 

Great

 

My copy of the 737 PIC worked perfectly in VISTA 32bit but I am now a 64bit Win 7 user.

 

Anyone else had this issue or even have found a solution.

 

Wycliffe

 

p.s. I will not be going back to SB4 Fsinn works perfectly for me.

At a glance, you haven't performed the suggested addon's fix provided in the FSInn/VATSIM FAQ. Will you do that and tell us the results you get?

 

Thanks in advance for testing our published information.

You appear to be misunderstanding the instructions from the addon’s fix. You’re saying you’re doing it, but it doesn’t appear as if you are.

 

Will you give me the description of how you’re applying it?

 

Thanks.

I type in %appdata%\microsoft\fsx

 

This finds me a folder called FSX

 

I then open the dll file in notepad

 

I then copy n paste the text in that into the apollo link thing that it says in the addon

 

I let it rearrange it for me then copy n paste the finished product back into the notepad dll and save it.

 

Sorry if i got it wrong, i presumed this was what i do,

 

Thanks Shane

[Dave Hardy 1023154]

OK i got mine working with this.....

 

go to C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

 

make a copy of the DLL.XML (or just DLL if you have filename extentions hidden + plus the folders and file are hidden so you need to un-hide them)

 

Copy the duplicate of the DLL.XML file and paste it in your windows drive root folder usually C:\

 

Your Wilco should now work 100% in Win7 64bit FSX SP2.

 

Regards, Dave.

 

PS Thanks for the friend who told me this fix.

[Matt Davies]

Dave,

 

I tried that fix and it hasn't worked.
